The Inside Microsoft Dynamics GP blog has started a series Feature of the Day posts for Microsoft Dynamics GP 2018 R2 on which I am following and adding commentary. The series index for this series of posts is here.

This feature sees the Checkbook Maintenance (Financial area page » Cards » Chechbook) option to allow or not allow Duplicate Check Numbers extended to other windows. This means that if this option is not marked, duplicate checks are not allowed in these three windows. Previously, this option only applied to Payables checkbooks but now it includes:

Bank Transaction Entry

Payroll Manual Checks

Miscellaneous Checks

I don’t recall this ever coming up before, so I actually thought the Bank Transaction Entry and Miscellaneous Checks window already did this. That said, we don’t have that many clients using the standard Bank Rec window and none would use the Miscellaneous Checks window as virtually all payments in the UK are via EFT.

The fourteenth feature of the day is Web Client Changes; this feature groups together three features.

The first of the features, is the extension of the AutoComplete from the desktop client into the web client. This means that when an ID has been entered once, it will be remembered and listed when the user starts to type the ID again (within the limits of the AutoComplete User Preferences:

The twelfth feature of the day is Sorting. Five windows inquiry windows have had the ability to change the sort order added:

Payables Transaction Inquiry – Vendor

Payables Transaction Inquiry – Document

Receivables Transaction Inquiry – Customer

Receivables Transaction Inquiry – Document

Select Bank Transactions

Across the years I have been asked numerous times by clients if it was possible to reorder the inquiry windows into date order, but this was never possible. Until Microsoft Dynamics GP 2018 that is.

This feature of the day has seen five of the inquiry windows updated to have sort options available. For Payables Transaction Inquiry – Vendor this means you can change the sort order from Document Number to one of the following:

Type

Original Amount

Unapplied AMount

Document Date

The other windows have similar sorting options. We have already started rolling out Dynamics GP 2018 to clients and have had a few positive comments about this feature.

The Inside Microsoft Dynamics GP blog has started a series Feature of the Day posts for Microsoft Dynamics GP 2018 RTM; as the most recent versions have been, these posts are in the form of PowerPoint slides; I am reposting them here so they can be read more easily as well as adding my own commentary.

One of the areas being focused on in the 2018 version of Microsoft Dynamics GP, is the user experience. The announced enhancements are:

Add sort to Receivables Transaction Inquiry – by Customer

Add sort to Receivables Transaction Inquiry – by Document

Add sort to Payables Transaction Inquiry – by Vendor

Add sort to Payables Transaction Inquiry – by Document

System password is remembered for the duration of the user session – the only downside is if you need to grant access to a window such as the VAT Return to a user, but then need to monitor them to make sure they then close Dynamics GP before continuing with other work.

Rename of Payables windows to say Payments instead of Checks – I can’t find the post, but this was a request from Mariano Gomez and is well overdue. Pretty much all payments in the UK are by EFT, so it was getting seriously embarrassing having all the windows with Cheque in the name (UK language pack changes it from Check).

Autocomplete added to the web client

SmartList Favourites – unique password protection – this is by popular request after the password for SmartList Favourites globally was added in GP 2016 R2.

SmartList shortcut on toolbar in web client

Bank Reconciliation maximise window in web client

Adding additional sorting in Bank Reconciliation window

Update help icons to link to tagged online support documents

The enhancements to the user experience listed above should be of benefit to users of Dynamics GP, and follows Microsoft’s ethos of evolution, not revolution in the improvements they are making.

With the release of Microsoft Dynamics GP 2016 R2 it’s time for a series of “hands on” posts where I go through the installation of all of it’s components and also look at the new functionality introduced; the index for this series can be found here.

To use this feature, decide if all, a range or one Checkbook should have its reconciliation history moved to history.

Mark the checkbox next to the type of transactions which should be moved and enter a Cut Off date; although the date field is aligned with the Reconciled Deposit Transactions, it apples to all of the transaction types.

Click Process to perform the move of reconciled transactions to history.
